FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT P18483-001
What is the difference between P18483-001 and P18424-B21?
They are the same physical drive under different HPE numbering schemes. P18483-001, the number on this page, is the spare part number, used for service and replacement and printed on the drive label. P18424-B21 is the option kit number used when the drive is ordered as a standalone sales item. This family also includes one assembly revision and ten OEM drive models, all listed in the cross-reference block on this page.
What is an assembly part number and what is an OEM model number?
An assembly part number identifies a specific build or revision of the finished drive as manufactured for HPE, and it may appear on internal labeling or in build documentation. An OEM model number identifies the drive as designated by the manufacturer that produced it; because this is a multi vendor SSD, several OEM models exist for the same HPE part. Any of these numbers indicates the same 960 GB SATA Read Intensive SFF drive.
What arrives in the box with P18483-001?
The drive is supplied bundled with an HPE Smart Carrier, the 2.5" SFF tray that lets the unit seat in a hot-swap bay without additional hardware. Total weight is 17.64 oz. Because the carrier is included, a failed drive can be swapped directly rather than transferring the old tray, though the original carrier from the failed unit can be retained as a spare.
Which servers accept this drive?
It is supported in HPE Gen8, Gen9, and Gen10 platforms with 2.5" SFF bays, including ProLiant DL and ML rack and tower models such as DL360, DL380, DL580, ML350, and ML110 across those generations, plus DL325 Gen10 Plus v1 and DL385 Gen10 Plus v1. BL-series and WS460c blades, SL-series and XL-series nodes, and Synergy 480 and 660 compute modules are also listed as compatible.
What performance class is this drive?
It is a Read Intensive class SSD, intended for workloads dominated by reads rather than sustained heavy writes, such as boot volumes, content serving, and read-heavy databases. The single SATA interface runs at 6 Gb/s with an external transfer rate of 600 MBps. Capacity is 960 GB. If the failed drive in the bay was a different drive class, match the class as well as the capacity when replacing it.
